Eye on Einhander

Square's Einhander has to be one of the coolest looking shooters since Gaires for the Sega Genesis. And to prove it, check out these level boss profiles followed by some hot screen shots.

Model SPJ15 - Greif Greif is a navy blue ship armed with a special weapon on each arm. The right arm has a cannon that shoots in five different directions. The other arm has an automatic machine gun.

Model SPKDO3 - Drache Drache is equipped with a huge instrument of destruction that can launch bombs. However, if this weapon is destroyed, Drache will rotate and launch a super-beam that can kill you in one shot.

Model SKPO4 - Garnele Garnele is a lot like a giant lobster. This boss possesses agile movements and high-speed jumps that will definitely keep your eyes busy. Firing missiles from its tail, Garnele can shoot you down with his high powered machine guns.

Model PGZ/L03 - Spinne Too large to be seen entirely on the screen, Spinne moves slowly but has a wide variety of attacks. It fires scatter-shots in the form of laser rings, and each of the four arms has a different weapon, including a vulcan gun, a cannon, a missile launcher, and a flame thrower.

Model SPKB08 - Gecko The Gecko is armed with two rotating laser turrets with its main weapon being its tail. Gecko's tail can shoot homing lasers which can be deflected if you grab floating EARs, or Energy Amplification Reflectors.

Salamander This bad-boy fires a high-speed spread-shot of lighting bullets. If that wasn't enough, the Salamander also has some missiles that launch from its tail.

Sturmvogel Sturmvogel is armed with all of your favorites, like grenades, bombs, lightning - you know, the usuals. However, Sturmvogel also has the ability to heave chunks of iron at you.
